TATA CORPORATE COMPLEX IN CONSTRUCTION-OVERALL VIEW
TATA CONSULTANCY SERVICES CAMPUS, MUMBAI, MAHARASHTRA, INDIA, ARCHITECT EDMUND SUMNER, These images taken in April 2010 I are a construction study of the Tata consultancy services campus in Mumbai India. I was interested in capturing the vast scale and terrifying rawness of the project as well as the use of local craft and subversion of local ARCHITECTural traditions. The scheme incorporates a modern interpretation of a ?jali? a traditional stone carved screen used for centuries as both sunshade and ventilated wall. Interestingly the construction process has commenced and Tsien has explained the need for full-size prototypes of various facade elements to ensure quality and that the material detail is clearly understood. Close work with handcrafted materials and artisans is apparent in most of the buildings.
